About myself

In 1990 I got a diploma as civil engineer in Odessa (Ukraine). After University I decided to learn foreign languages as a contribution to my professional life. I learned English as well as German. After some years of working as engeneer I decided to change my job and started working with languages. My native language is Russian. So the languages I work with are Russian, English and German.

Since 2004 I‘ve been living in Erkrath near Dusseldorf.and constantly working as a freelancer with the three languages. I teach English, German and Russian, translate and interpret at conferences, trade fairs, negotiations and other events.

My engineering background helps me achieve good results in both - translating work and language training. With the same interest and dedication I work with non-technical topics.

As a language trainer I work with teaching methodology which helps me design my lessons in an efficient, dynamic and learners-friendly way. For proper application of this methodology I am internationally certified as an English trainer.

I still like learning foreign languages. Now, in my free time, I am learning French and Italian. So I can better understand obstacles and problems my students might come across while learning, and offer them relevant and .reasonable support.

I am looking forward to answering your questions and getting your enquiries. Together we can find the most suitable for your language needs, model of work.

As a freelancer I am eager to cooperate with other freelancers (linguists, marketing specialists, event - and project managers, IT specialists etc.), as well as language schools, and agencies.
I am looking forward to your interesting and innovative cooperation ideas, and to sharing mine with you..
